My post was seeking "been there- done that" from parents who gave their kids the gift the time ;)  My post was not an apology or explanation/reason as to why I am redshirting my child. Numerous posters tried to dissuade me or stated my reasoning was poor, etc.. I did not list my reasons- which are many. [b]If I must, I would say our family is not ready for a 7 hour day yet. [/b]I could have found a half-day kindergarten but I am new to all of this. [b]Also, my son is very physical and is a class clown. he enjoys being silly and playing around[/b]. My family is in the position where half of the children in the grade below are closer in age to my child than half of the children in his grade. So either way, my son is going to be too young or too old. I do understand this could change, it may have been an anomaly. However I grew up in Hawaii and if we go back there the cutoff is July 31 and redshirting here will be a good move for us. Lastly, yes, my child doesn't want to be the youngest. He just doesn't. If that bothers him, it bothers me. My prek teacher also recs redshirting him.[/quote]

What does it mean that your family isn't ready for a 7 hour day? Does it mean you aren't ready for your kid to be gone 7 hours a day or you logistically can't figure things out?

On the second point, are you afraid of an ADD diagnosis in the future? Do you think if you hold him back the behavior will get better?
